In February 2024, Deputy Benjamin Myrum, 36, was placed on administrative leave due to allegations of misapplication of entrusted property, a theft-related offense under North Dakota law. Sheriff Bryan Lang stated that Myrum violated county and departmental policies. The case was referred to the North Dakota Bureau of Criminal Investigation for an independent review. In April 2024, Myrum resigned from his position and was subsequently charged with felony theft and misdemeanor misapplication of entrusted property. The investigation emphasized the importance of maintaining office integrity and public trust.
